April 22nd 2009, a Colorado man was convicted of first degree murder and a hate crime for killing what he thought was his ‘female’ date. Just last week a transgendered man went on a radio show and released a diss track against Chingy the rapper claiming to have slept with Chingy a few times. My question for you all is this; is it OK for a transgendered person to NOT tell their date, partner, lover, or interest about their TRUE gender and identity? People are jailed all the time for falsifying and forging documents and people with the AIDS virus are prosecuted for not telling their partners they are infected. If this is the case why are we prosecuting those that have reacted to the un-imaginable, why is it murder and not manslaughter, why am I even writing about this now and how come legislators haven’t mentioned this already?
Don’t get me wrong, this is NOT about straight vs homosexual, this is about falsifying an identity. That is truly fraud, in my opinion. I am not homophobic by any means and know many homosexual people that I consider friends and family. The key to this is knowing they are homosexual, not knowing wouldn’t be so bad either, I suppose, if they are who they are (Popeye). But for someone to change their gender, meet a person, get to know them in all aspects that a person gets to know one in a relationship without telling them the TRUTH is a BLATANT LIE AND IS FRAUD! To prevent transgenders from being murdered out of a natural reaction, especially for males with high levels of testosterone and pride, I believe indicating your TRUE gender should be THE LAW! This would give those that potentially can be duped into thinking the person is, in fact who they say they are a chance to decide if they want to move forward or not…hey it’s their business and should be their decision. To act like a female but really be male or vice versa is morally wrong in every way, form, or fashion. And for people to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law with NO leniency is absurd!
That transsexual rapper is lucky Chingy didn’t body him (No pun intended)! Seriously though, he is truly lucky. Transgenders are killed all the time, NOT because they are drag queens or butch dykes – but because they are LIARS! We have all seen Ace Ventura Pet detective, all the men on their wanted the head lady cop only to find out she was a MAN in the end. Ask yourself, if you were intimate with someone only to find out they were not truly who they say they are in terms of gender, would that NOT send you over the edge? How is this a hate crime when the motive doesn’t match, we aren’t talking about people that are going out in the public preying on the homosexual, bi-sexual or transgendered. We are talking about people that were lied to mentally, emotionally and most important of all PHYSICALLY! We are sending people to jail that either were looking for some fun, to start a relationship and/or maybe even to start a family. By not telling a person you are not the gender you appear to be is so wrong I can’t begin to fathom how this has been let go all these years under the guise of a ‘hate crime.’
The media keeps portraying these liars as victims when the true victims are the ones that gave of themselves only to be lead on and lied to. These are the ones that need the emotional support and counseling, these are the ones that should get lighter sentences and leniency for reacting naturally. The liars should be prosecuted just like those who steal identities, falsify documents, commit fraud, purgery, and pass on the aids virus without letting their partners know. To not be told is NOT consent, because the transgendered know that most will not accept them as transgendered they lie and this country protects that? Sometimes this country is so ASS BACKWARDS (no pun intended) that they protect the criminals and lock up those that, for the umpteenth time I’ve said in this blog, are THE VICTIMS!!!
I am very interested in hearing your feedback regarding this topic!
